Event syncing

Events are pulled from iModules every 15 minutes using a cron process which checks for newly updated events. It works by pulling a list of events that have been updated or created since the time of last sync, and importing them one by one, either creating a new event or modifying an existing one.

The main functionality for this sync and import process are located in the custom plugin "Cornell Events"

Venues and Timezones

Venues are also imported from iModules if one needs to be created. Each time a new venue is created, it's timezone will also be set based on geographic location so that timezones for events are properly updated.
